KC Local Pulse: Winter Storm Disrupts Schools, Jobs, and Sports Events

  • サマリー

  • Good morning, this is Kansas City Local Pulse for Tuesday, February 18, 2025. We're starting off with breaking news: a winter storm has hit our area, causing widespread closures and cancellations. Schools across the region, including Bishop Seabury Academy, Geary County USD 475, Lawrence USD 497, Leavenworth USD 453, and Oskaloosa USD 341, are closed today. The University of Kansas has also closed its Lawrence, Edwards, and Leavenworth campuses, with only essential employees required to report to work[4].

    This severe weather is impacting daily life, with Governor Laura Kelly issuing a Declaration of Inclement Weather for Shawnee County, ordering state office buildings to be closed. The Douglas County District Court is also closed today. If you were planning to attend the Concacaf Champions Cup Round One series match between Sporting Kansas City and Inter Miami CF, it has been rescheduled to Wednesday at 7 p.m. at Children's Mercy Park[4].

    Looking at the job market, there are over 1,200 jobs available in Kansas City, with positions ranging from customer service representatives to registered nurses. Notable employers include Children's Mercy KC, which is hiring for research assistants, and Sun Life, which is looking for absence leave specialists[1].

    In other news, the 2025 WIN for KC Women's Sports Awards took place on February 4 at T-Mobile Center, celebrating National Girls and Women in Sports Day. Local honorees were recognized for their contributions to women and girls in sports within the Kansas City region[3].

    On the economic front, the 2025 Economic Forecast indicates that the Kansas City labor market appears tighter than the U.S. overall, with manufacturing, healthcare, and construction sectors expected to grow significantly[5].

    For those planning outdoor activities, today's weather forecast predicts moderate snowfall, with temperatures averaging around -11 degrees Fahrenheit. We can expect light to moderate rainfall later in the month, with an average of 1.43 inches across approximately 6 days[2].

    In sports, the rescheduled Concacaf Champions Cup match is something to look forward to on Wednesday. Meanwhile, local athletes like Addison Bjorn, a five-star basketball player from Parkville, are making waves in their respective sports[3].

    In community news, we're keeping an eye on upcoming events, but due to the weather, many have been postponed or canceled. We'll keep you updated as new information becomes available.

    This has been Kansas City Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
